Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, titled "Capacity Strengthening to Support Provision of High Quality and Evidence based HIV Prevention, Care and Treatment Services to Staff and Family Members of the Kenya Disciplined Services Community," is a U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) cooperative agreement designed to improve HIV-related services for Kenya's disciplined services and their families. The target community specifically includes personnel connected to the Kenya Police, Administration Police, and the Kenya Wildlife Service, reflecting an emphasis on supporting uniformed services where occupational mobility, deployment patterns, and unique workplace structures can affect access to consistent prevention and treatment. The grant sits under the broader umbrella of the U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) and is framed as part of a coordinated approach led by the U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator to align U.S. assistance with Kenya's national HIV strategy and existing partnership frameworks.
The core purpose of the award is capacity strengthening, meaning the CDC is looking to fund an implementer that can build and reinforce systems so that HIV prevention, care, and treatment delivered to this population is high quality and evidence based. In practical terms, this typically implies strengthening service delivery platforms, improving the clinical and programmatic competence of providers, supporting the adoption and consistent use of standards and guidelines, and improving program management functions such as monitoring, evaluation, and quality improvement. Because the opportunity explicitly emphasizes evidence based services, it signals an expectation that applicants will rely on proven interventions and public health best practices rather than untested or purely ad hoc activities. The cooperative agreement mechanism also suggests substantial involvement by CDC during implementation, with CDC staff likely providing technical direction, collaboration, and oversight rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back.
The opportunity is listed as discretionary funding in the health category, with a single expected award. The estimated total funding amount is $20,000,000, and the award ceiling is $2,500,000, indicating that the full projected funding may cover multiple budget periods or phases under the cooperative agreement structure, while annual or defined-period funding is capped at the stated ceiling. The award floor is listed as $0, which generally indicates there is no minimum award amount guaranteed and that funding levels depend on the final approved budget and program design. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
The funding opportunity number is CDC RFA GH13 1307, and it is tied to CFDA number 93.067, Global AIDS, which is the federal assistance listing associated with PEPFAR-supported global HIV work. The announcement was posted on January 22, 2013, created on January 23, 2013, and the application deadline was extended from March 12, 2013 to April 4, 2013, with the archive date listed as May 4, 2013. These dates matter mainly for historical reference now, but they show that the CDC made a formal amendment to the due date, a common step when agencies want to allow additional time for applicants to prepare competitive submissions.
Eligibility is broad and includes a wide range of U.S. and non-U.S. entities. Eligible applicants span nonprofit organizations (with or without 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education in that particular nonprofit category), for-profit organizations (including those other than small businesses), small, minority-, and women-owned businesses, universities and colleges, research institutions, hospitals, community-based organizations, faith-based organizations, and various U.S. tribal governments and tribal health entities. State and local governments and their bona fide agents are also eligible, including U.S. territories and affiliated jurisdictions. Importantly, the announcement explicitly includes non-domestic (non-U.S.) entities, which means Kenyan or other international organizations could be eligible, depending on the full text conditions referenced in the "Additional Information on Eligibility" section. The variety of eligible entity types indicates the CDC was primarily focused on finding a capable implementer with the operational reach and technical depth to work within disciplined service structures, rather than restricting competition to a narrow class of institutions.
For applicants or interested parties who could not access the full announcement electronically, the CDC provided a point of contact through the CDC Procurement and Grants Office Technical Information Management unit, including a phone number (770-488-2700) and email (pgotim@cdc.gov). This contact detail is typical for federal opportunities and is intended to help with access barriers or administrative questions about the notice.
Overall, the opportunity reflects a targeted PEPFAR investment in strengthening HIV programming within a defined occupational community in Kenya, with an emphasis on quality, consistency, and adherence to evidence based approaches. By focusing on disciplined services and their families, the grant recognizes that HIV prevention and treatment outcomes often depend not just on individual behavior or clinical care, but also on the readiness of institutions, the reliability of service delivery sites, and the ability of a system to maintain continuity of care for personnel whose work conditions may make routine access to health services more difficult.
